A magnificent example of bornite from Butte!!! This specimen consists of a cluster of quartz crystals that hosts a large, prominent cluster of
complex bornite crystals!!! The bornite has well defined crystalline features and, upon close inspection there are a few small chalcocite pseudomorphs
as well!!! There is also a small amount of pyrite in association as well!!! This specimen is in magnificent condition and displays fantastically in person!!!
This specimen retains an old label from Forest Cureton as well!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
